Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup dill pickle juice
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray or olive oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice lengthwise into even cutlets.
  • Place chicken in a shallow dish and pour dill pickle juice over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Set up three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and parmesan, panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into flour, then egg, then press firmly into the parmesan mixture.
  • Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or brush with oil.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not marinate longer than one hour. Use finely grated parmesan for better coating coverage.
